SHE'S A DAUGHTER
02:43
|

|
Like a painting in the window frame
Just like a painting in the window frame.
She pours you a melody and serves you a song
Mysterious enough to fool the Sphinx
She’s a daughter.

He sees her every day
He knows her moves and her ways
He hears her voice from below
He sees her little boy grow
He knows what food she buys
He cooks, he bakes and he fries
He lays the table for three
Sits down alone for his tea
And in his mind he says:
Falling through the floor
Falling through the floor
Falling through the floor
I’m falling to you
He hears her crying at night
He wants to hold her real tight
He meets her out on the stairs
He mumbles and looks away
But in his mind he shouts:
Falling through the floor
Falling through the floor
Falling through the floor
I’m falling to you

MY HEART WILL NEVER FLY
03:41
|
|||
|
Often I’m happy, yet I want to cry
cause there is nobody here to truly share my joy.
Often I’m sad, yet I have to smile
to hide my tears for a while
I love – yet I want to sigh
cause my heart is tied, it will never fly
Often I’m warm, yet I freeze in my warmth
cause the world embraces me with frozen arms
Often I’m cold, yet I blush and glow
cause the world can never douse my love
I love – yet I want to sigh
cause my heart is tied, it will never fly

URBAN CAVEMAN
02:28
|

|
Huh, hah - urban caveman
Huh, hah - urban caveman
Huh, hah - urban caveman
Urban caveman in his city flat
Waking up feels the protein crave
Wants to get a slab of raw mastodon
Too complacent to leave his modern cave
Grabs a slice of processed bacon in a bun
Huh, hah - urban caveman
Huh, hah - urban caveman
Huh, hah - urban caveman
Urban caveman in his city flat
Feeling restless he should get a pair of stone blades
Go bison hunting for a nerve-wracking kick
Puts on his cap and a pair of fancy shades
Off to the gym for a dumbbell-stacking trick
Huh, hah - urban caveman
Huh, hah - urban caveman
Huh, hah - urban caveman
Urban caveman in his city flat
He goes clubbing with a club on his side
Sees a female and makes a grunting call
"Let me drag you to my polyester hide
A trophy for my cave, I can paint my Facebook wall”
Huh, hah - urban caveman
Huh, hah - urban caveman
Huh, hah - urban caveman
Urban caveman in his city flat

COLD LOVE
03:48
|
|||
|
This old stone house in shadow sits
Since when you told me true
Of how your heart for me has changed
And how that we are through
Pray listen to my song of tears
Together, Love we chose
Was once a time of happiness
Yet now a cold wind blows
For me your heart’s grown old my love.
For me your love’s grown cold
I did not think you cruel my love
Until such words you spoke
Crawling slowly over me
Dark as night’s black cloak.
You twist and turn, a Devil’s tale
Of secrecy and deceit
Drowning in the lies you’ve spun
I stumble at your feet
For me your heart’s grown old my love.
For me your love’s grown cold
And now, through black-eyed window, stare I
A dark and troubled mind
No longer can I see you fair
Peace I cannot find
Cold rooms still echo your chilling cry
When silence I gave to thee
Rest long my love no need to leave
Together forever, we shall be
For me your heart’s grown old my love.
For me your love’s grown cold
Time past and now I’m old my love soon together we shall be
Not long my love, oh at last together we shall be – forever

ROMANCE
Working all week in sensible shoes.
Decently dressed, skirt below knees.
Saturday night, that’s when she peaks,
showing some leg and wearing high heels.
She’s ready to dance, ready for some romance.
All you need is to ask her for a slow dance.
Come on now. It’s your chance
Off she goes, out on the town.
Buzzing with joy, feeling alive.
Leaving behind that workday frown.
Her face is unlocked, she’s one big smile.
She’s ready to dance, ready for some romance.
All you need is to ask her for a slow dance.
Come on now. It’s your chance

THE ROAD MOST TRAVELLED
03:52
|
|||
|
She steps out of her door
before her lies the familiar road
It’s a safe road, it’s a known road
her feet have tried it well.
To the left a narrow and toilsome trail
with a beautiful light at the end
“Stick to this road,” she says
“No need to think.”
Yesteryear, yesterday,
she travelled here, she knows her way
today
She steps out of her door again
before her lies the familiar road
It’s a safe road, it’s a known road
her feet have tried it well.
To the right an enticing and winding road,
but she can’t see how it ends.
“Stick to this road,” she says
“No need to think.”
Yesteryear, yesterday,
she travelled here, she knows her way
today.
Yesteryear, yesterday,
she travelled here, but where will she go
today?

THE THINGS YOU DO
03:10
|

|
I like the way you look
I like the way you cook
I like the way you move
And how you groove
I like the smile on your face
I like your warm embrace
I like the spark in your eyes
I love the things you do to me
I love the way you walk - with me
I love the way you talk - to me
I love the way you dress - for me
I love the way you mess with me
I like the way you sleep
I like the way you weep
I like the way you sing
I like our fling
I like the smile on your face
I like your warm embrace
I like the spark in your eyes
I love the things you do to me
I love the way you walk - with me
I love the way you talk - to me
I love the way you dress - for me
I love the way you mess with me

A STAR BEHIND CLOUDS
03:44
|
|||
|
I heard the first sounds of your life
I saw the first steps that you took.
We grew up sharing joys and toys
We had fights and angry nights
Like a star behind the clouds, could not always see you.
Like a star behind the clouds, I knew you were there.
You were always on the move and
you travelled the seven seas.
You knew how to send a man to the moon.
Now your bones are resting in peace.
We went on, had our separate lives
Had our joys, had our sorrows.
Could be weeks, could be months
without seeing each other.
Like a star behind the clouds, could not always see you.
Like a star - behind the clouds, I knew you were there.
You were always on the move and
you travelled the seven seas.
You knew how to send a man to the moon.
Now your bones are resting in peace.
Did I tell you, did you know?
You're not here, but even so.
You're like a star, you're like a star
You're like a star - behind clouds.

HONEY THUNDER
03:51
|
|||
|
He is known as a legend.
A legend of blues
He is softly spoken,
but his words carry weight
He is known as a legend.
A legend of blues
The strings are his soul’s extension
When he plays them his soul touches yours
And when he sings, when he sings, when he sings it is like
Honey thunder. Honey thunder
He is known as a legend.
A legend of blues
He’s the Jussi Björling
of Blues Alley
He is known as a legend.
A legend of blues
The strings are his soul’s extension
When he plays them his soul touches yours
And when he sings, when he sings, when he sings it is like
Honey thunder. Honey thunder

FEET RUNNING
02:55
|
|||
|
Feet running in the night
Feet running for a light.
Hearts pounding at an inhuman pace
A metronome for this human race
Feet swimming in the night
Feet swimming for a light
A father's dream to flee the war
A father's children washed ashore
There is anguish in his eyes
There is anguish in his sighs
Hear him crying in his restless sleep
See him groping for a hope to keep
Feet running in the night
Feet running from a light
What should be haven for the pounding hearts
Is set ablaze by a heartless crowd
